The tourniquet has been a valuable tool for soldiers for hundreds of years. The proper application of a tourniquet during an emergency can save a life, but an improper application with too much slack can result in the opposite effect. This Sam XT Tourniquet features a buckle technology that auto-locks at a predetermined amount of circumferential force, eliminating nearly all tourniquet slack. It's engineered for rapid utilization with fewer windlass turns enabling easier training and faster, more intuitive use.

Normal stud finders beep when it finds a stud, but leaves it up to you to try and figure out where it begins and ends. The Ryobi Whole Stud Detector uses a series of LEDs at the top to show you the entire width of the stud. It can also tell you how deep the drywall is, detect wires and other materials inside the wall, and once you've found the stud you're looking for, it has a button that will mark the center with a dimple so you can find it again.

There are times when you want to keep some tools around, but don't want to look like a handyman. SOG Baton Multi-Tools are ideal for those moments. Available in four different models, these robust tools all fold up to a stick-like form that measures roughly six inches in length for easy storage. Yet they offer a wide range of tools, including everything from scissors and bottle openers to knives and ballpoint pens. An ideal urban alternative to traditional bulky implements.

Hiking boots were once only worn by avid outdoorsmen. Now, they're versatile enough to wear every day, whether you're tackling a trail or slippery pavement on the way to work. The Summit Hiking Boot is made using smooth full grain and vintage vegetable tanned leather that will age gracefully. Each pair also features molded rubber soles for solid footing on almost any surface. In addition, they're backed by Frye's commitment to quality, which dates back to 1863.

For Issue 03, we headed to upstate New York to test drive the prototype electric Bollinger B1, the next-generation minimalist utility truck. We then took a classic Ford Bronco from the 1970's down Kentucky's legendary Bourbon Trail, stopping and sampling all along the route — and even getting schooled by master distiller Jimmy Russell. You'll find the world's best bourbon guide in this issue, with 25 bottles ranging in price from $25 to $4,000 a bottle. To complete our boxy, American-made SUV trifecta, we drove an Icon Ford Bronco up to Yosemite. Finally, we wrapped things up with edited guides full of the best hiking boots, backpacks, turntables, headphones, and camp knives.

It's wintertime. For many, that means snow shoveling time. The Alpha Shovel is the ideal tool for the job. It has a blade that's over two feet long, a foot deep, and built from five pounds of sandblasted, clear coated T-6 aluminum. It has serrated teeth to break through ice and hard snow, slots for easy storage, a telescoping shaft, and a Nylatron D-handle that's guaranteed to work all the way down to -60 degrees Celsius. In other words, it can handle the toughest of driveway clears, even if you live in an Alpine hut off an unpaved road.

Plenty of multi-tools offer screwdriver bits. Few, if any, are quite as small and convenient as the Key-Bit EDC Tool. Made in Minneapolis from your choice of aluminum or patina-developing copper, the pill-shaped tool hides a standard screw bit inside, using a pair of powerful magnets to stay securely closed until you need it. Knurling on both sides makes it easy to grip, and while it ships with a #2 Phillips hex screw bit, it can accomodate nearly any 1/4" x 1" hex bit you find most useful.
